You have warmer temps in the forecast.....A tiny bit chillier down this way, but still not too bad.

Snowed this evening. Tomorrow supposed to be +12, crazy interior weather is nuts....

A sister sent me a short video of snow falling on her deck in Courtney, so even the island isn't immune.

I hear high winds might be coming their way.

Snowed like a bastard up in the higher elevation part of Kamloops where I live. Drove down the hill and nothing.

Note to self - live in the valley, not on top of a hill.

It's foggy up on top of Kootenay Pass.

Just a little..... I hate fog when driving, heck even when just working at the airport fog was a pain. Might be one of the worst weather conditions to have to drive in. I can deal with snow and ice as long as I can easily see, add in fog, and I give up.

I do my best to avoid driving any mountain passes in winter, I will change the Coq if the weather between it and Vancouver has been clear and sunny for at least 24 hours and no storms in the forecast, the 2 times I had to go to Kelowna before moving here in winter, I did it that way, and worked, but any storms or precip in the forecast, nope not even gonna try it.

The cameras are a big help. In the month of not winter (highway repair season) the road condition section is a big help as well, telling us where flooding is causing disruptions, where wildfires are endangering or shutting down traffic, and of course where road and bridge repairs and construction may cause bottlenecks.
4 hrs later the fog is probably still impenetrable as soon as you're heading down the mountain. Hitting a wild goat is a real hazard.

It snowed in Norfolk this morning, enough to leave everything looking pretty and white.

Be gone by the afternoon though.

We had just over a foot of the white stuff fall down from the sky over the past couple of days and -5c temperatures, although today the snow is thawing as the temperatures rise to +4c - I just dug up the last 30 odd beetroot, carrots come out this weekend.

Rained a bit yesterday evening, then went below 0 overnight so a little icy this morning, but now sunny and looking good. No snow expected for the next 7 days at least.

I travelled across the coquihalla yesterday afternoon, roads were bare.

Looks like a snowy week.
